الفكرة بكلمات بسيطة

The channel shows the normal swing around the trend. A close outside the channel signals an unusually strong move; a return to the middle line, a normal pullback.

طريقة الحساب

Middle: 20-period EMA. Bands: ± 2 × ATR(10).

Middle = EMA(close, 20)
Upper = Middle + 2 × ATR(10)
Lower = Middle − 2 × ATR(10)

كيفية الاستخدام

  • Trend: closes above the upper band show strength; buy pullbacks to the middle line.
  • Squeeze: Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels mark extreme quiet (the "TTM squeeze" idea).

استخلاص النتائج

  • Because ATR changes slowly, the bands are smoother than Bollinger Bands.

مثال

Gold closes above the upper Keltner band three days running: a strong uptrend; the first pullback finds support at the EMA.

ما يجب الانتباه إليه

  • Like any band, "touch the band, take the other side" fails in trends.

لمحة تاريخية
